Gem Lake Web Design of Annapolis, Maryland,  develops sites for business and non-profits locally and nationwide.   Existing site redesigns, consulting, graphics and marketing are also available.   Competitive pricing and customer satisfaction are always guaranteed.

Our professional design combines optimized graphics, clear layout, animation, advanced HTML, cgi Flash and Shockwave to develop original and creative web sites that stand out and deliver.  

We provide complete turnkey solutions solutions to our clients: design,  hosting and domain names,  maintenance and  promotion.   This allows for a few things that are generally appreciated.  

By offering ongoing maintenance to our clients we are able to design and code more sophisticated sites.   Many people simply do not want to muck about in the programming end and are not experienced enough to do so without "breaking" the code.   Not a problem, we will update and maintain your site with month to month contract or on an as needed basis.

Our hosting arrangements are handled on world class systems that are fast, reliable and affordable.   You have better things to worry about.

Marketing and Promotion are best considered early in the development process, while many tricks of the trade can be implemented,  this is especially true for search engine placement issues.   Gem Lake Web Design also works to train and inform our clients so that they can best "work the web" and realize 110% of their expectations.
